Snow Cruiser was a vehicle designed from 1937 to 1939 under the
direction of Thomas Poulter, intended to facilitate transport in the
Antarctic. While having several innovative features, it generally failed
to operate as hoped under the difficult conditions, and was eventually
abandoned in Antarctica. Rediscovered under a deep layer of snow in
1958, it later disappeared again due to shifting ice conditions. The
Snow Cruiser was also known as "The Penguin," "Penguin 1" or "Turtle" in
some published material.
